Better Barbecues
But cooking outside is one of the joys of summer and early autumn, and there are plenty of safe ways to do it if you have the right gear and pause to think before you spark up and get your apron on.
TheWeber Traveler gas barbecueis a prime example of a fantastic foldable barbecue that offers a large cooking space but folds down like a deckchair to become easily transportable.
Another excellent option for cooking up a storm under open skies is theCampingaz Party Grill 400, which enables you to grill, griddle and fry food in various outdoor settings.

Cook smart on a camping stove
Well known to multiday hikers, who love to obsess about reducing weight and bulk,lightweight camping stovescan be a brilliant option for more casual picnickers too, especially if you’re simply looking to boil water for a refreshing brew to go with your sandwich. TheCampingaz Twister Plus PZis an especially brilliant little stove that literally fits in the palm of your hand, or the pocket of your backpack, and Jetboil and Primus also make sensational stoves for heating H2O in a hurry.
And there’s also a massive range ofcooking pots and utensilsthat accompany these smart stoves, which make outdoor chefing easy, enjoyable and much safer for the environment you are out enjoying.
Another outdoor cooking option is to use one of the stoves that burn naturally occurring fuel like twigs and pine cones, such as the cleverBioLite CampStove 2+. These stoves are particularly good in autumn, when bio fuel is plentiful, but they do result in hot embers that need to be safely doused and disposed of, so please bear this in mind.
Remember, too, that in times of extreme weather conditions such as prolonged drought and soaring heat, all naked flames can sometimes be banned. Keep an ear and eye out for such alerts in the area you’re exploring, and when they’re issued you should avoid even using gas stoves.
